- YUMA (5/5): -
- KENJI (8/5): - コスパ 周り(外)うるさい
- Hiromi (4/5): - I only stayed at this property for one night, but it was difficult to carry my suitcase up three floors by stairs.
They asked us to take off our shoes, but there weren't enough mats for everyone.
- Coline (7/5): -
- Andrea (4/5): - La posizione I letti, il riscaldamento, nessun tipo di aereazione tutto chiuso, staff assente, non cinritornerei
- GINA (9/5): Would stay again! - The futon was super comfy and the hangers were strong enough for me to hang my little backpack and other items above me in the cubicle/capsule. I used my own silk sleeping bag but sheets and a duvet were provided.
I was in “c” area on a top bunk: the ladder is shared between 2 bunks; there was a decent edge alongside the adjacent window that I used to help me get up and down at the top of the ladder and into my area.
I used ear plugs but overall the area was quite: there was no traffic or train noise that I heard.
I stayed one night. I did not use the common area to “hang out” but instead arrived early evening, left with another guest to eat, and crashed; I left early the next morning around 8.30 and had no problem accessing a shower to do so. I re-packed in the common area (there is no room to do anything but access your bunk in the accommodation areas).
Bathroom Facilities were clean. Towel was fluffy and thick. I didn’t use hairdryers but they were provided. Shower gel etc was provided in the individual shower. There were 2 showers located inside individual cubicles so you could dress/undress/shower in private.
I read others feedback prior to booking so the very small entrance areas to the bunk beds were not a surprise.
It was dry weather when I stayed so I did not need to deal with wet clothes etc.
I met other friendly and polite travelers in the common area which was central to the bulk areas. There is no room to store luggage in the bunk area so everyone just lined theirs up next to each other in the common area, which was fine: everyone was very respectful.
There is a WhatsApp QR code on the entrance door for you to contact staff. I was sent an email with my access code. There is a shoe rack by the entrance and rubber slip-on are provided for guests to use to enter the accommodations. Umbrella’s were also available to use there. It was a bit warm in the cubicle/capsule - there is no fan inside your individual unit. The one air-conditioner for the bunk room was not sufficient for cooling if you chose to keep your curtain closed for privacy: I opted to leave my curtain slightly open (I wore an eye patch). The overnight temperature was around 16-18 Celsius. I think from memory there were 6 units in area C.
There was a little noise as people bumped into their respective cubicle walls occasionally; additionally, there was some street noise during the night from a drunk person singing, lol. Otherwise, it was quiet.
- Randy (8/5): Location - Perfect location, full equipment kitchen, everything looked clean The room assigned to us was next to the main entrance, so everyone kept trying to open or knock on our door, which was uncomfortable. The room is very small, and all guests have to leave their luggage in the living room due to the lack of space.
- awata (6/5): コスパは高いですね。 - シャワーは清潔。何処かの寮のようで落ち着ける。全体に合格点。 ベッド周りの狭さ、ロッカーがないこと。
- Kazushige (10/5): まあまあ - 綺麗😍 外国の方が、仕切っていて、バックの置く場所などを指摘してきた
テーブルの周りに置く様に言われたため、テーブルが使えない
- Dominic (8/5): -
- Michael (9/5): -
- 飛樹 (4/5): 宿泊施設がここだけしかない以外で最終的に
時くらいです - 最低限のアメニティがあった。
スリッパがあった
セキュリティの鍵がある シャワー室の水回りが全然清潔がなかった。
二段ベッドの上段の底の音がかなり響き、下段で就寝中に少し不安を感じた。
1部音の反響が大きく、宿泊者同士の気遣いなどが雰囲気に圧迫感を感じた。
- Unai (10/5): -
- RAUL (5/5): -
- Carmen (1/5): I couldn’t wait to leave this place. - The location is fine, shimokitazawa is a nice area and well connected.
The toilets were clean. I don’t recommend staying here. It looks ok in the pictures but when you get there, it feels very dodgy. The whole hostel smells really bad, especially in the dormitory rooms. Like the sweat of a lot of people accumulating over time. The sofa and the chairs in the common area feel very dirty, and the floor too. There is mold on the ceiling of the shower and there was a hole on the wall in my bunkbed.
- Mohammad Adib (10/5): - there is a lot of crazy chicks around you wont find anywhere else nothing.. except the Cat.. look scary
- Ayako (4/5): 値段が安い。 - 駅から近いので便利。値段が安い。 スタッフが全くいないので、何かあったときが心配。皆のくつろぎスペースに皆の荷物が混雑していて全くくつろげる感じではなかった。隣の人のいびきがすごくてほとんど眠れなかった。この日女性客が私以外ほとんどいなかったので、宿泊者のみしかいない環境は結構怖いと感じる場面があった。
- Mohammad Adib (10/5): - eat at goemon yomenya.. ask for adib menu.. enjoy delicious fusion food at goemon the cat..
- KUMI (8/5): -
- Constance (7/5): - Chambre confortable mais très petite Peu de douches alors que beaucoup de personnes dans l’auberge
- ririka (6/5): -
- フクハラ (4/5): 初のエアビー体験!勉強になりました - アクセス 勝手がわかりづらかった
- tomohide (6/5): -
- Florian (10/5): Très court séjour très bien situé, si ce n’est un peu de bruit dans la rue l’hôtel était impeccable, avec des super sani - Très bon emplacement, très propre Isolation, un peu de bruit dans la rue
- Jinho (1/5): - location no staff, no space, broken facility, lazy response
- HSUN YI (6/5): -
- YUKO (5/5): -
- MIHO (4/5): -
- EIMI (6/5): まぁまぁだったかな。 - 駅近でコスパいい 使う方の問題ですが、洗面台がビチャビチャでした。
お部屋があるにも関わらず、リビングの椅子で寝てる方が何人かいました。
- Sébastien (4/5): -
- Hironori (4/5): 価格相応 - ロケーション 狭い
- ismaele (7/5): - Posizione molto comoda e piacevole Non ce la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli pre e dopo check in
- Matona Olivia (6/5): Convienient Location - The location of the hostel is really good, right in the heart of Shimokitazawa which is few stations away from Shibuya. We luckily two bottom bunk beds which was a blessing. Getting to the top ones seemed a bit difficult. Internet was good, and meeting people was easy because of the shared space. Unfortunately no space to lock your luggage, we had to keep in the beds and hope that no one opens the curtains. Reaching or texting staff was difficult, sometimes I did not get an answer for 24h and complaints were disregarded. Entertaining the premises was also a bit difficult because the instructions were a bit unclear.
Another note: Not the hostels fault but some guests were unpleasant, for example coming into your room in the middle of night and sleeping at a free bed bc their own room was loud (snoring) and then came to our room and snored. Also other people randomly taking a picture of you. If you are a women or two women traveling, i recommend getting a single or privat room.
- AKIKO (10/5): - 駅に近い。近くにレストランやスーパーマーケットがある。 暗証番号で入り、夕方に外出。遅くに帰ってくると部屋用の靴がなく靴下で室内を歩いていました。どこに連絡すれば即対応してもらえるのか分かりませんでした。
- Axl.B (8/5): -
- TAMURA (1/5): - 立地 バスタオルも無い、部屋違う人寝てる、運営と連絡一切取れない。
良くないことばかりでした。
- Somi (5/5): Passable - I liked the location. Just a 5-minute walk from the station. There are a lot of stores around, so you can easily get dinner. Also a convenience store in a close enough place. First, I didn't like that there weren't enough slippers for the guests. I had to walk the bathroom with my socks, which was very uncomfortable. Second, I didn't like that there were a lot of suitcases in the sharing space, as well as people sleeping in the sharing space. Third, the place of the bed was difficult to recognise. I would like the A, B, C signs to be on the door, not on the wall close to the door. Fourth, the curtain of my room was broken.
- Phạm Trung (6/5): Hài lòng - Nhỏ mà rất đầy đủ, khen ông chủ khá hiếu khách Nhỏ quá, mà cả khu ưuanh shinruku đều giá cao, nên ở ga shin cubo rẻ mà rộng, đầy đủ dịch vụ
- Charlotte (4/5): - La localisation au top, la décoration. Dans une chambre double privée : le chauffage était défectueux, et le système de vérouillage de la porte affichait une faible batterie, absence de personnel pour régler le problème. En plus de l'isolation thermique et sonore de la chambre qui étaient déplorable, il faisait très froid dans la chambre.
- TOMOMI (6/5): -
- Molly (6/5): OK for a cheap hostel stay - Location was great close to subway and shops and food. No staff seen, not much space at all for luggage. Someone (?staff or resident) threw away my towel that I had hung up to dry so that was bad. I also extended my stay but had no communication from the hostel about which bed to stay in so I just had to guess and stay in an empty space.

- Ruben (10/5): -
- Aiden (8/5): Amazing location next to the station, shops, and food. Be mindful of the luggage issue - The location is the best. I don’t think there’s many places that could top the convenience of being literally next to the station as well as surrounded by shops and food. Staff was there cleaning everyday and are friendly. Amenities are great Like most reviews the lack of ability to store your luggage adequately is the biggest issue. Then potentially other guest can be. I didn’t have much of a problem and everyone minded their own business but some people do make the capsule rooms smell.
- Sugiura (6/5): - 駅近 めっせーじし連絡が来ない
- sam (5/5): - very near the train station with convenience stores nearby. did not have storage lockers nor safe to keep luggages/valuables. my cash also got stolen during my stay. hallways were very small. so were the sleeping pods.
- 蕭 (8/5): - Yesterday no hot water,
Can’t shower 🙁🙁
- Jeremy (1/5): Needs ventilation, the interior dorm room is not livable. The exterior one is okay. - Great location, otherwise cozy spot. I've stayed in the exterior dorm room and the single room before and they were great. The capsule room had zero ventilation and smelled like homeless people. I had to leave after one night and did not receive a refund.
- Naonori (7/5): -
- Kazushige (10/5): very good - シャワー 楽しかった
- Piotr (1/5): -
- Miki (3/5): きたない臭い - 安い ドミトリーは臭いし、トイレの壁に便が付いてたりして気持ち悪かった。
スタッフの清掃が悪いというより
使う人たちのマナーが悪い
外国人が多かったから仕方ないかもだけど
潔癖気味な人にはすすめない
- Ryo (8/5): -
- Kyoko (5/5): 慣れれば便利な宿 - 駅から近い
周辺が繁華街なので食事には困らない
コンビニが近い 部屋が通りに面していたので朝方まで周辺が騒がしく眠れなかった
玄関を入るためにタッチパネルにパスワードを入力するのだが、当日まで施設からの連絡なし。宿泊日のお昼過ぎにメッセージを送ったらすぐに返信があり、パスワードを解除できた。事前に連絡をもらえていたら安心できたので、そちらがちょっと不満です。
- kyoko (5/5): 下北沢で予定があるときはまた利用したいと思います - 駅近
宿泊代が安い 玄関のキーナンバーがこちらからメッセージを送らないと教えてもらえなかったこと
- Kento (2/5): 二度と泊まらない - スタッフ居ない、連絡もない
入室方法のメッセージ文字化け
- HIDETO (3/5): とりあえず寝られたのでよかった。 - 設備が新しい 部屋番号、施設と部屋への入室方法がわからない。
メールで送られていないか確認したが、それらしい記載はなかった。
直前のメールは文字化けして判読不明でした。
- Gakuji (1/5): 受付無人。シャワールームびしょびしょのまま、洗面所の横はゴミが溢れ、壁が薄くビニール袋の擦れる音すら聞こえる。外の騒音もすざまじい。金に糸目つけないアジアのバックパッカーなら楽しく泊まれるかも -
- Yokoyama (10/5): -
- ONODERA (9/5): -
- Antoine (7/5): -
- Tosihiko (5/5): 場所も値段も良いが、管理元を改善すべき - ロケーションが良い スタッフさんはいらっしゃるのですが、管理会社が非常によろしくない。
決してスタッフさんが悪いわけではありません。彼らはアウトソーシングの中で精一杯やってくださっています。
管理会社からメールが届かず、部屋番号がわからない、暗唱コードがわからずチェックインできない。そう言った問題が3泊しただけで5件。
いよいよ解決しなければアウトソーシングのスタッフさんがクレーム対応に追われることになりますよ?
改善を強く要望します。
- Eleonora (10/5): -
- Gen (1/5): -
- SHOHEI (8/5): 便利でした! -
- AKIRA (6/5): - 場所がいい
清潔
その割に安い 事前にメールで入口のドアロックの解除の仕方が案内されたが
実際にはそれでは足りず
教えられた番号と*を押したあと更に表示された番号を押し、その後に表示された*を押してやっと解除される
案内された方法では入れなかったので電話するも繋がらず
LINEで連絡しても既読がついてから一時間以上返信がなかった
またドアがロックされず何もせずとも開いてしまったこともあった
ベッドのカーテンが壊れていて完全には閉まらなかった
タオルがない
予約サイトの情報ではアメニティにタオルとあった
また有料レンタル、ともあったが
スタッフが常駐していないので借りられない
- Yosuke (4/5): -
- Diyar (3/5): - Konumu güzeldi. Üst katta eğlence yeri var sabah 6 ya kadar ses yapıyorlar. Düzenli her gece. Sesten uyunmuyor.
- NANAMI (6/5): 安いのに綺麗でよかったです。 - 駅近でシャワールームが3つトイレが4つあり、電子レンジなどの家電も揃っていてよかったです。 チェックインの仕方はメールで送られてくるのですが少し分かりにくいかもしれません。
よくない点ではないですが、荷物預かりはないので荷物は駅のコインロッカーに荷物を預けることになります。
- み (7/5): - 安いし駅近。 男女共用なので気になる人は気になると思います。
二段ベッドの下でしたが横も上も多分男性でした。
話し声やいびきが心配でしたが特にそういうことも無く寝れました。
お風呂はさすがに気になってしまって特に利用せずでした。
でもバスタオルが置いてありそこはとてもありがたいと思います。
共用部に海外の方の大きいスーツケースなどが置いてあったりシンクに洗ってないお皿が置いてあったりしましたが私は特に気にならないのでいいかなと。
- Fujii (4/5): -
- Fujii (7/5): -
- Job (6/5): a very odd place to stay. - Really neat location Tiny rooms, no place to store luggage and no staff present at any point during my stay.
- Paula (6/5): - Location It was not very clean and the bathrooms were stuffy and a pile of beer cans were in the balcony which was also open at odd times
- morisan (7/5): 下北満喫。 - 駅からめっちゃ近いところ。ミニキッチン使えるから尚良き。ダイエーもあるし不便なし。大きな冷蔵庫もあるから安心だった。 あまり無い。
- 本宮 (7/5): -
- Wai Kan (7/5): -
- Taylor (7/5): -
- TAMURA (8/5): - お得感 連泊の時のタオル関係
- Hiroko (8/5): 良かった - 立地がいい 他の利用者が自分の部屋がわからず何度もロック解除するのがちょっと怖かった
- Jorge Manuel (9/5): -
- hidekazu (2/5): -
- sho (7/5): -
- INOUE (10/5): - ①キッチンで料理が出来る 4階のバーの音が響くのと、通り沿いの雑音が響くくらいかな。
- 萱野 (8/5): -
- Aadam (8/5): Budget friendly shimokitazawa location - Very cheap, worth staying at for the Location if you're on a budget and want to stay in shimokitazawa There were no towels around for use, luckily I had my own.
- Takeshi (3/5): 古き良きユースホステル - ロケーションは駅前なので良かった。
ユースホステルっぽい感じで、他の宿泊客と関われるロビー・リビングエリアも良かった。
汚い雑居ビルの中にあるにも関わらず、宿の中はキレイにリフォームされており、不快感はなかった。 宿に着いたあと、部屋番号の案内がなく、ベッドの割り当てもされず、スタッフもおらず、メッセージへの回答もなく、電話にも出なかったため、まともに宿泊できなかった。
他にも何人も似たような状況の人がおり、ロビーのソファーは全て寝てる人で埋まっていた。実際、セキュリティもザルなので、予約なしでもソファーで寝れる気がするから、宿泊客だったのかも不明。
- fotobread (10/5): Excellent Value for Money - 1) Good location.
2) There is a communal area like a real hostel. Feel much better than a capule hotel.
3) Very clean 1) Space is tiny, but the price has reflect it.
2) has to walk up 2 storeys.
3) Self-service check-in out.
4) the air conditioner is a bit too hot/warm.
5) the email of the self check-in procedure, sometimes, is late.
